"I've been promoting him whenever the chance comes. I reckon within 10 years he'll be an international guitarist. I'm really for him. Many other players have had an influence on me, but I love to see a 30 year-old guitarist knock my socks off!"
Matt Parker - Steve Howe and more nominate inspirational guitarists

"...Appreziamo molti aspetti di questo cd, innanzitutto la bravura e la versatilità interpretativa di Flavio Sala che ripropone alcuni brani classici della musica pop internazionale e italiana: possiamo ascoltare Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Laura Pausini, Bocelli, Celin Dion e Beatles..."
Marco Perotti - Recensendo [cd]: "Flavio Sala plays POP" di Flavio Sala

“The piece effectively set the mood for an audience that was already hypnotized by his playing. Then, he went on with the controversial but undoubtedly beautiful and demanding chaconne by Bach. The rather long composition not only bewitched the audience but stated clear the stature of Flavio’s abilities as an interpreter.[...]Both compositions prompted the audience out of their seats to render a standing ovation to the young maestro. Flavio Sala has demonstrated to be a great guitar player and a musician. His uncanny abilities to play such ample repertoire are the best credentials to establish himself among the greatest players of our times. Flavio is regarded by Alirio Díaz (once the assistant to Andrés Segovia, the greatest classical guitarist ever) as “the new Paganini of the guitar”, an epithet that clearly states the international status of this guitarist who ironically hasn’t been appreciated yet in his native Italy due in part to the current trend of mediocre radio prog”
Leonardo Bigott - FLAVIO SALA: A CONCERT TO REMEMBER!

"Su clara sensibilidad y total control en la modulación de cada tema le presentan como uno de los más relevantes guitarristas de la actualidad a nivel internacional, cuyo camino a la cúspide apenas comienza."
Leonardo Bigott - "Flavio Sala en Vivo y POP"

"La mia passione per 'Volver' è nata dopo aver visto la pellicola di Almodovar, pezzo che poi ho scoperto essere di Gardel. Il chitarrista Flavio Sala mi aveva proposto alcuni brani per una nostra collaborazione, ma io ho spinto per 'Volver'. che volevo assolutamente fare e ne è uscita una sua splendida esecuzione flamenca."
Marco Castrovinci - Mango: "Vi racconto la mia 'Terra degli aquiloni', il nuovo disco. L'intervista

"Non ho voluto parlare più di canzone, in questo caso, ma di rappresentazione del suono come invenzione del corpo. Invenzione che assume l’aspetto della vocalità mia e delle dita di Flavio Sala, grande chitarrista classico e ne combina i colori più sconosciuti in un viaggio tzigano-andaluso."
MANGO - "La terra degli aquiloni"

"There's a new guy named Flavio Sala; he's a brilliant young guitarist. He [Flavio] came on the scene, and I heard him, and I was riveted."
Chris Whigham - An interview with Steve Howe, guitarist for YES

"Este disco vale su peso en oro" [...] "Disco virtuosístico a más no poder, de interesante potencial comercial y que sin duda es una muestra de varias cosas: solvencia del intérprete, estupendas relaciones públicas para saber rodearse de lo mejor del panorama musical, magistrales arreglos y pintoresca y sorprendente elección del repertorio. El éxito en los directos está más que asegurado."
Pablo San Nicasio Ramos - De La Buena Onda - Flavio Sala

"...During his brief staying in Caracas, Claudio Baglioni had a short conversation with TBP thanks to guitar virtuoso Flavio Sala who is also a fan of Baglioni's music and who called on Giovanni Baglioni (Claudio's son) to play in his latest album De La Buena Onda..."
Leonardo Bigott - Claudio Baglioni in Caracas at last!

"...World-class Italian guitarist Flavio Sala once declared that he couldn't understand why Venezuelan music was still unknown abroad..."
Leonardo Bigott - Where are we heading?

"...Flavio had been in Caracas more often than I thought. As I started my research on him, I found out he was an extremely accomplished guitarist of astonishing technique and profound sensitivity. He was also very accessible and friendly so he made things really easy for me..."
Leonardo Bigott - FLAVIO SALA

“Flavio Sala doesn’t hold back, in his playing or with his words. The multi-talented guitarist, who weaves his music between the classical guitar and world-music genres, is taking a stand on the current state of classical guitar...”
Dr. Matt Warnock - Flavio Sala on the Current State of Classical Guitar

"...One only has to listen to his two most recent outings to be convinced of such strong statement to find out it isn’t a mere comment or testimonial..."
